An atempt for a 1s 18650 2".
Frame, FC, camera and VTX are recycled from previous builds. I had to modify the bottom plate to allow the camera to sit in and for the FC USB to poke through.
Comes in at 44.4g as pictured (no battery).

I love builds of old frames! 1s 18650 builds are so heavy that even 3" struggle a lot. Interested how this 2" gets on...I would try Sony VTC5a cell which can push out more current than VTC6 with a little less capacity.
That battery holder is genius as well.

It can fly upwards of 20 minutes on a 4 cell Li-Ion battery pack and in ideal conditions it's got a range of over 4 to 5 miles. In this guide I'll walk..

With the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone! The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
